Stefon Diggs is certainly enjoying being the catalyst behind the “Minneapolis Miracle.” The wide receiver's incredible, game-winning catch in the Vikings’ divisional playoff victory over the Saints last month will go down as one of the best moments not just in franchise history, but in NFL playoff history.

Judging by the standing ovation Diggs received a few days ago at a Timberwolves game, Minnesotans won’t stop loving him anytime soon.

Diggs spoke to Sporting News last week during a promotional event for Delta Air Lines, the official airline of the Vikings and U.S. Bank Stadium. He touched on a number of topics, namely that catch, after which, he says, his phone blew up with "over 400 text messages."

On his first instinct when he made the catch: "My initial thought was to get out of bounds, that’s why I turned and tried to get my arms and stay up. I was trying to do the smart thing.

"If I had run out of bounds it would have definitely been unfortunate. But my football instincts kicked in."

On what he was seeing as he ran down the sideline: "I actually was watching the fans. Everyone was standing up and just going crazy. To see that — my eyes were wide open. ‘I’m really about to score.’ I thought I was going out of bounds."

On his emotions following the touchdown: "I was just so happy, especially at that moment. All the work paid off, being in the position I was in, all that. If you put in the work, it will pay off. I’m just thankful to God."

On whether the extra attention is getting to him: "It’s a moment I’ll never forget. It’s something I’ll forever be grateful for. I won’t be sick of it for another 100 years."

On the quarterback situation in Minnesota and whether the uncertainty affects things: “Not for me — it really doesn’t change things for me. For me, I have to get back to work and run around some routes and catch some balls, no matter who it is coming from.

"I’m not in the front office or anything like that. So I don’t concern myself with that."

On his personal favorite clutch playoff moment: “I don’t know, I think the ball against the helmet is one of the biggest ones. Santonio Holmes had a great catch with the toe-touch in the back of the end zone, if I'm not mistaken. I like that play a lot."
